. Figure 4: Project and Course TimelinePhase IObservation of Teaching: Observation of teaching was done on 3 separate occasions. Since thecourse was split into the theory portion (10 weeks) and the design portion (5 weeks), teachingpractices were observed for each segment. Additionally, observation of teaching was conductedwith a view to gauge the classroom environment and the interaction of the students with eachother, as well as with the instructor. Inspection of the students as they asked questions regardingthe homework and worked through in class-activities on BioWin was critical to understand theirreceptiveness to the course.Analysis of Course Design: The other component of analysis was the course design.

This is a project-based course that emphasizes active learning and integratesreal-world examples and case studies throughout. The course includes a group design project, sixhomework assignments, four reading quizzes, three exams, and weekly discussions. In Fall 2024,twenty-seven students enrolled and successfully completed the course. A syllabus statementadhering to the university's recommended language was included to address the use of GenAItools in the course (refer to Appendix A).

The final module, module three, is sustainability focused, with student teamsidentifying a problem local to their campus, prototyping solutions, and testing the feasibility oftheir designs for their intended context. The third module features introductions of a three-pillarmodel of sustainability (environmental, economic, equity), the principles of Universal Design(UD), and character-based professional ethics.There are seven instructors at the study institution, all of whom teach both Fall and Springsemester courses in sequence. There is a shared syllabus and course plan, though individualinstructors retain freedom to plan their lectures and activities in the way that best suits them.That is to say, all

To address these goals, we created a Teams siteto centralize general and course-specific resources accessible to all TAs. We also developed a TAcontract template to document roles and responsibilities, encouraging faculty to adopt it in theircourses. Faculty were asked to hold weekly meetings with their TAs to discuss weeklyexpectations and address concerns or questions, fostering consistent communication.Additionally, TAs were required to complete the university’s online Suicide Prevention Training,a program all department faculty had already completed.

from student learning goals and outcomes using adesign-based approach [32], [33] generally back to activities and evidence of learning, thenfinally back to instructional approaches and content. This aligns the educational design approachwith an engineering approach [33] and an engineering education style. Importantly, it isconsidered “backwards” because it contrasts with the usual approach of learning design thatsimply covers a certain number of chapters of a textbook, for example, and moves forward towhat the students might learn from the content [33] or perhaps starts with the syllabus and againmoves forward from there [35]. Applying backwards design is useful at both the course [36] andprogrammatic [37] levels for academic programs. This

Applications like these, as well as comparing courselearning outcomes to ABET criteria, focus on identifying patterns, relationships, and alignmenton text-based datasets to gain insight that may inform important aspects of EngE, such ascurriculum design and accreditation processes, showing its value in EngE research.ConclusionIn this study we integrated qualitative
